In a denomination focused on peace, non-violence, and community, we don’t often talk about the feelings of moral outrage and righteous anger. Let’s honestly acknowledge and discuss these emotions and how to fit them into the structure of our UU values.
On this Memorial Day, we gather not to glorify war, but to honor the humanity of those whose lives were shaped or ended by it. Through remembrance, silence, and reflection, we recommit ourselves to compassion, peace, and the sacred responsibility of carrying one another forward.
In this time of both chaos and continually moving toward solidarity, what are our deepest hopes for ourselves, our congregation, and the community at large? Come and explore and celebrate how to consolidate our emotional and other resources to uphold a mission of community and peace.
